That took long enough. I hope he suffers. Too bad he's 71 years old...he won't be suffering long enough for me.


Reputed Klansman Convicted in '64 Case

U.S. Marshal Supervisor James McIntosh, right, escorts reputed Klansman ...

JACKSON, Miss. - A jury on Thursday convicted reputed Klansman James Ford Seale of kidnapping and conspiracy in the 1964 deaths of two black teenagers in southwest Mississippi, grisly drownings that went unpunished before federal prosecutors re-examined the forgotten case.

Seale, 71, faces life in prison in the deaths of Charles Eddie Moore and Henry Hezekiah Dee. The 19-year-olds disappeared from Franklin County on May 2, 1964, and their bodies were found later in the Mississippi River.

"I thank the Lord that we got justice," Dee's older sister, Thelma Collins of Springfield, La., said outside the courthouse.

Seale sat stone-faced as the verdict was read and showed no emotion as marshals led him out of the courtroom. Seale was taken back to a county jail north of Jackson, where he has been held since he was arrested. A half dozen of his relatives, including his wife, ran out of the courthouse to a waiting Lexus sport utility vehicle, bumping some reporters in the scramble.<snip>

1. MSNBC had a special

Showed how the brother went down to Mississippi and started stirring things up until he finally got the prosecution.

For some peculiar reason, it was decided he should go on Al Jazeera and talk about this case. When the prosecution was announced, Alberto and the whole gang were at the press conference. And the verdict comes down today - when Libby gets sent to jail for certain. I don't know, it all seems so contrived.

But I'm glad the sob is in jail.

Bush crowd in jail...

in another forty years.
